Weird crushes that your mother has?

[Frownette]

I'm starting to lose track now. So it was someone from eastenders, Paul Gascoigne, and her latest one is London mayor.

I think she feels vaguely affectionate towards Boris as well.

Shall I just give her more chocolate and say where the corner is...?

Rod Stewart.

Why?!

Bradley Walsh

George Clarke from the tv show about houses.

@Sara2000 George Clarke is dreamy! (Maybe I'm old enough to be your mother 😂)

Guy Mitchell.
Singer from god knows how long ago ( does your chewing gum lose it’s flavour on the bed post overnight?)
She is 92.

I'm quite old myself but not seeing the attraction.

Well my dm is 81 and fancies Noel Fielding. I feel quite proud of that!

Be interesting to know how old your mums are!

My Mum (77) Paul Newman

Me (51) current - Andy Allen (judge on master chef Australia. I think it's just because his smile reminds me of an ex from when I was very young & it's a walk down memory Lane)
In the past -Gaza Paul Gascoign, George Clarkson, Paul Hollywood, Rob Lowe & even very many years ago, but now have the ick Tom Cruise.

I just looked up Guy Mitchell. He has the look of Claire Rayner about him. ( I do like her, by the way).

71, Ken Livingstone, Michael Heslestine, Paddy Ashdown, Imran Khan- I suspect she likes Dishy Rishi too

I’m 51. I like the guy who plays Prosser in Hinterland. He’s knocking on a bit. Also like an actor called James D’Arcy (think that’s his name). My Mum is 84 and likes Ciaran Hinds and Alan Bates.

My mum 72 loves Patrick stewart which is a very suitable choice for an older lady imho! Plus he is not dissimilar to my dad (except my dad has hair!)

David Essex!

Daniel o donnell!

@Wellshellsbells

Daniel o donnell!

Mine too. But other than yours, @Wellshellsbells, virtually everyone else’s mothers have considerably better taste, regardless of what generation they are! Well, apart from BoJo, Rishi and George Clarke.

Every time I think of Wee Daniel, I imagine having an arranged marriage brokered by my mother, and the kind of men should would have lined up — lovely jumpers, ‘respectable’ family, mass goers — and cry inside.

Guy Mitchell. Singer from god knows how long ago ( does your chewing gum lose it’s flavour on the bed post overnight?) She is 92.

Bloody hell that just brought back mems of my childhood when my mum used to sing that 🤣🤣🤣

My now deceased mother used to sigh over Mel Gibson, before all the misogynist, anti Semitic stuff came out.. she never knew.

Well I'm 62 and my DS despaired as my crushes are younger than him.

Richard Rankin and Sam Heughan anyone ?

David Tennant . My mum's only 54 though. She used to be obsessed with Robbie Williams when I was growing up but she's went off him now

i havent asked her.
i know she used to like Michael Parkinson and Christopher Plummer

The only person my late mother ever expressed anything remotely resembling a crush over was Ingrid Bergman.

I wonder if there was something she was keeping to herself?

oh and John Thaw's Morse

Well MIL has a picture of Monty Don (cut out from the Daily Mail) stuck on her kitchen cupboard.

PivotPivotPivottt Sounds exactly like my mum! Although she also had a brief dalliance over Paddy Ashdown during the ‘97 Gen election

Sorry to disappoint but 'Does Your Chewing Gum Lose its Flavour on the Bedpost Overnight' was Lonnie Donegan not Guy Mitchell (he did Singing the Blues). My parents were of that vintage!
